How Gears 5's Recent Updates Gave New Life To The Campaign

Recently The Coalition released a brand new free update for Gears 5 celebrating the release of the Xbox Series X/S. Adding a ton of new options to the campaign that made playing through it a thrill again. Adding a ton of new easter egg-themed content, something that harkens back to retro gaming.

Is the campaign better than Gears 1 or 2?

Definitely not but it's a step in the right direction and there are some great levels.

That's interesting. I played 1 & 2 and most of 3 and the first couple levels of 4. The third campaign story with the lambent, hostage scenarios with the stranded, and Dom's and the Queen's anticlimactic deaths all failed to grab me. Even the badass "punchy" feeling from gears 2 was completely absent from 4's gameplay mechanics.
